synergy model
SYNERGIES TO BUILD INTO YOUR MODEL
• Cost savings
• Revenue synergies (cross-selling)
- Step-change (e.g. take existing product into new
distribution network)
- Long term higher growth (e.g. full solution for customer)
• Cost to realise synergies (e.g. redundancy payments; IT
investment; asset closure; advisor costs; transaction costs)
• Negative synergies (e.g. loss of customers; distraction)

- 13. Remember that there will be negative synergies as well as positive
synergies to include in your valuation
Can 1 + 1 = 1.5?
POSSIBLE NEGATIVE SYNERGIES
•Disruption to both businesses while management is busy
integrating; competitors take advantage
•Suppliers act to reduce dependence on retailer, so offer less
support and develop alternative channels
•Reduced future store growth – e.g. Local government will grant
permission for 1 new store/city, not 2
•Loss of customer loyalty if CP brand goes
•Expensive investments e.g. integrating IT
•Overlapping stores; cost to shut down
•Culture clash – key processes disrupted
•Key people leave
